My Department is currently in negotiations with a landowner with a view to acquiring a site for the school referred to by the Deputy and to this end has recently made a formal offer to acquire the lands. A response is awaited. Due to the commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions, I am not in a position to comment further on the matter at this time. Once this acquisition is concluded, the proposed building project will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
